Married to the Sea

Married to the sea,

her marital vows reserved to be raucous.

A true testament to her nautical ambitions

to engage in matrimony with the salt water steward.

The ears of nieces and nephews

perk up.

For an instant,

The crescendo of the crescent

holds firm,

prolonged,

stretching the shoreline.

Seaweed and driftwood

occasionally make an appearance.
